Aduana Stars Pip ES Setif

Ghana’s only representative in the Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) Champions League, Aduana Stars defeated Algerian side ES Setif, by a lone goal at the Nana Agyeman Badu Park on Wednesday, in the first leg match of the competition.

Sam Adams scored the only goal of the game, through a penalty in the 72nd minute, to secure a win for the Ghana Premier League champions.

ES Setif approached the game with defensive tactics and relied on counter attacks in search of the much needed away goal, which eluded them.

Coach Yusif Abubakar brought in experienced player Yahaya Mohammed in the later stages of the second half to help strengthen the attack, but the Algerian side were able to hold the Dormaa based club till the end of the game.
